I wonder if the 101 is being made more frequent and reduced to single deckers then?

If you look at the timetable its still every 10 minutes.
The obvious change is the new 101S school service.

The October timetable for the 17 says ever 7-9 minutes or every 8-10 minutes for Saturdays (just like WMPTE used to) so why can't other timetables be like that instead of then at frequent intervals or even worse every few minutes

The route has some tight turns in it already, dont think they would send a single decker down there

I went on a omnilink price branded and when it arrived at jewelry quarter the driver went onto the roundabout as it was a really tight turn.

Will their be a closing down parade then, just out of curiosity, from a planning point of view are buses transferred over a couple of days i.e from last peak friday service to end of service sat or is it all done end of service sat. Just curious, its been a while since a depot closed?

Will be strange not seeing the Scanias on the 55 as I have seen them used in there since they were newish back in around 2007. And presumably City Centre - Ward End corridor will now be completly double decker.

You did say BC should be completly double deck from next week, does that mean the Coventry B7RLE are going? Or do you not include them as they are on loan?
